They Both Die at the End

by Adam Silvera

That way I’m not stuck at home starting one-thousand-piece puzzles I’ll never finish or masturbating because sex with an actual person scares me.

The way this made me cackle and then immediately get sad needs to be studied

“Sorry about that, Mateo. I’m mortified. It’s been a long day and these calls can be so stressful and—”

Girl YOUR day was stressful?????

I collapse back onto the floor, thinking about how it’s do or die now. Not even that. Do, and then die.

Rule number one of one: Deckers are no longer people.

What the fuck, Andrea

I was raised to be honest, but the truth can be complicated. It doesn’t matter if the truth won’t make a mess, sometimes the words don’t come out until you’re alone. Even that’s not guaranteed. Sometimes the truth is a secret you’re keeping from yourself because living a lie is easier.

Lidia will never know how Mateo is spending his End Day, but she hopes her best friend finds whatever he’s looking for.

Tears in my fuckin eyes

I wish I was brave enough to have traveled.

My Last Friend is here for the long run.

Life isn’t meant to be lived alone. Neither are End Days.

“Thanks for being the best Last Friend a closet case could ask for.”

Im so sad this is making my tummy hurt

I kiss the guy who brought me to life on the day we’re going to die.

THEY KISS????!!?!?!??

“I’m sorry too,” Aimee says. “There’s only one side that matters to me and I’m sorry I was trying to play both. We didn’t have nearly as much time as we should’ve, but you’ll always be more important. Even after . . .”

Girl fuck you

MATEO WAS HERE AND LIDIA WAS BY HIS SIDE, AS ALWAYS.

Ouch

This stampede is impossible to get through and I can’t reach Rufus and I’m not going to be able to touch him again while he’s still alive.

FUCK

Entire lives aren’t lessons, but there are lessons in lives.

The three friends hug, a planet missing from their Pluto Solar System—but never forgotten.

“People have their time stamps on how long you should know someone before earning the right to say it, but I wouldn’t lie to you no matter how little time we have. People waste time and wait for the right moment and we don’t have that luxury. If we had our entire lives ahead of us I bet you’d get tired of me telling you how much I love you because I’m positive that’s the path we were heading on. But because we’re about to die, I want to say it as many times as I want—I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.”

Im so sad im gonna throw up

“Two dudes met. They fell in love. They lived. That’s our story.”

I kiss my Last Friend because the world can’t be against us if it brought us together.

My heart is burning.

Maybe heartbreak kills.

I’m happy too. Even now when I’m destroyed again, Mateo repaired me.
